Going to the Lone Star State

KUCH

Several weeks from now I'll be in Texas where 12 months ago I began a journey in the Precious Metal world. Prior to this, I was a semi avid coin collector, buying one or two key dates a year. As the economy tanked in 2007, I started to look at PM's.

A year ago while in Texas, I visited our local coin dealer and upon my request he started my education of gold and silver. First purchase was made at that time, 2 ea small 2.5 gram bars of gold. I was walking on air with my $79.00 ea. bar purchase.

Soon after, I began visiting this message board. The education exploded, my research intensified and fortunately I could afford many more purchases. As I look forward to my trip back to Texas where my journey began, I know I'll find another PM to add.

Thank you to all on this board who have given me the knowledge and tools to enjoy this new endeavor.

Hummmmm...you're gonna love Austin. It is the heart of Texas in many ways. Hope you like beautiful, smart, women and parks and tubing and drinkin' with your buddies on the river and skinny dipin' and freedom and ladies that can drop a running deer with a whistle and drop a 6' cowboy with a wink. Oh, yeah, you can go to the university and get a few degrees and if you like soft ware and hardware, that's where they make it so there's lots of folk into that. If you like wild beautiful scenery and wild people to go in it then you will like Austin, may you be one of those people in the scenery and love Willie and armadillos and Stevie Ray and Lone Star beer. If you like politics...well, in Austin, they don't use gloves so that's kinda fun, you just have to be careful that you don't get none on 'ya. Welcome to Texas, now get to work! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa

Edited to add:

locate yourself south of the Colorado River and west of Lamar Boulevard and you'll be OK. My home as a youngster, from '55-'78. Talk about goin' through Them Changes!

Barton Hills and Westlake Hills, south Austin, beautiful hill country separated by the great and sacred, Barton Creek. I've run so many miles of whitewater on that creek through the years..., hunting, trapping, fishing, climbing, cliff diving, caving, camping, too.

I hope you adjust to it well. Some people who move there don't, believe me. I've seen lots of people self-destruct and marriages ruined there. Remember, you can only stand so much of a good thing.
